• is committed to our inclusive approach which celebrates cultural, religious, ethnic and linguistic diversity
• has excellent inter personal and communication skills
• has very high expectations of behaviour and is passionate about children’s learning
• will be able to further develop our collaborative, team teaching approach and is able to lead and manage a large team of teaching and support staff
• is able to maintain and strengthen our current links with parents and the wider community,
• will work in partnership with our WEST schools and members of the Trust community.
We can offer you:
• the opportunity to lead our lively, friendly and hard-working team of staff
• the support of our dedicated team of staff and Governors and work with them in implementing a vision of excellence
• the opportunity to work in our modern building which has excellent learning facilities

Our school facilities include a Clever Tots provision for rising two year olds, Nursery provision for three and four year olds and a Sensory room. We also have extensive outdoor areas including an allotment and garden area.
